I'm not sure the compressor wheel on a 14b would even be able to keep up to a 8cm turbine housing. Would probably just make it laggier with a little more top end. It would be damn hard getting 40lbs/min out of a 14b. I have a friend that is pretty much maxing out his Evo 3 16G (with 2.3, 272's, E85, the works) and he is hitting 40lbs/min at 30-31psi.

If you wanted to use an 8cm turbine housing, I would do a 16g.
